I would also like to thank the staff both at the treatment centre and the pre-operative assessment team, together with my GP, Dr Martin Gilchrist, who diagnosed my problem and referred me.

I have received exceptional care and treatment from the NHS staff concerned. We are so privileged to have such an excellent team of doctors and nurses in our area and they should be praised for all the hard work and dedication they contribute to the hospital.

We all know how much hard work, dedication and sacrifice medical staff endure through education to become surgeons, doctors and nurses.

This dedication and hard work continues to enable them to practise and give us all the care that we can easily take for granted. So let's have more praise for these wonderful people and less of the negative reports. Well done, Queen's Hospital.
